I. Abstract
The Office of Self-Governance is
seeking comments on the information
collection entitled ‘‘Tribal SelfGovernance Program, 25 CFR 1000,’’ as
we prepare to renew these collections
that are required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. The information
collected will be used to establish
requirements for entry into the pool of
qualified applicants for Self-Governance
and to meet reporting requirements of
the Tribal Self-Governance Act.
II. Request for Comments
The BIA requests your comments on
this collection concerning: (a) The
necessity of this information collection
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden (hours
and cost) of the collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Ways we could enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (d) Ways we could
minimize the burden of the collection of
the information on the respondents.
Please note that an agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and an individual
may not respond to, a collection of
information unless it has a valid OMB
Control Number.
It is our policy to make all comments
available to the public for review at the
location listed in the ADDRESSES section.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address or other
personally identifiable information in
your comment, you should be aware
that your entire comment—including

time. While you can ask us in your

persons are advised that information on
this matter can be obtained by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commission instituted this investigation
on March 16, 2015, based on a
complaint filed by LEGO A/S of
Billund, Denmark; LEGO System A/S of
Billund, Denmark; and LEGO Systems,
Inc. of Enfield, Connecticut. 80 FR
13629–30 (March 16, 2015). The
complaint alleged violations of section
337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), in the
importation into the United States, the
sale for importation, and the sale within
the United States after importation of
certain toy figurines and toy sets
containing the same by reason of
infringement of four U.S. design patents
and four registered U.S. copyrights. The
notice of investigation named as
respondents LaRose; MEGA; and BestLock Construction Toys, Inc., of Miami,
Florida (‘‘Best-Lock’’). Best-Lock has
been terminated from the investigation
based on a consent order. See Notice of
a Commission Determination Not to
Review an Initial Determination
Terminating the Investigation as to
Respondent Best-Lock Construction
Toys, Inc., Based on a Consent Order
Stipulation and Proposed Consent
Order; Issuance of Consent Order (June
19, 2015). The Office of Unfair Import
Investigations was also named as a
party.
On July 9, 2015, Complainants and
LaRose filed a joint motion to terminate
LaRose based on a consent order
stipulation, a proposed consent order,
and a settlement agreement. On July 22,
2015, the investigative attorney filed a
response in conditional support of the
motion provided that the movants
submit a revised version of the public
settlement agreement that contained
fewer redactions. On July 31, 2015, the
ALJ ordered the movants to file a
revised version of the public settlement

agreement, which the movants complied
with on August 24, 2015. See Order
Nos. 18 and 21. On August 26, 2015, the
ALJ granted the joint motion as an
initial determination (‘‘ID’’). See Order
No. 21.
On July 28, 2015, Complainants and
MEGA filed a renewed joint motion to
terminate the investigation as to MEGA
based on a consent order stipulation, a
proposed consent order, and a
settlement agreement. On August 21,
2015, complainants and MEGA jointly
submitted a revised consent order
stipulation and proposed consent order.
The Investigative Attorney did not
oppose the renewed motion to terminate
based in part on the August 21, 2015,
revised consent order stipulation and
proposed consent order. On August 26,
2015, the ALJ ordered the movants to
file a revised version of the public
settlement agreement, which the
movants complied with on August 31,
2015. See Order Nos. 22 and 23. On
September 3, 2015, the ALJ granted the
renewed joint motion as an ID. See
Order No. 23.
The Commission determined to
review the IDs on September 18, 2015,
and October 1, 2015, respectively,
because the consent order stipulations
and the proposed consent orders did not
comply with Commission Rule
210.21(c). The moving parties were
requested to file with the Commission
revised versions of the consent order
stipulations and proposed consent
orders in compliance with that Rule. On
October 7, 2015, LaRose and MEGA
submitted revised consent order
stipulations and revised proposed
consent orders in compliance with Rule
210.21(c).
The Commission has determined to
terminate the investigation in its
entirety, and to issue consent orders
with respect to LaRose and MEGA.
The authority for the Commission’s
determination is contained in section
337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in part
210 of the Commission’s Rules of
Practice and Procedure (19 CFR part
210).
